Tigers Jaw to Return to Australia for First Tour in Three Years, Supporting Touche Amore in November
After a three‑year break from Australian stages, Tigers Jaw is revving up a headline tour that will sweep through Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in November 2026. The journey kicks off in Perth on 10 November, moves to Sydney on 12 November, and wraps with back‑to‑back dates in Melbourne (13‑14) and Brisbane (15). A marquee highlight arrives on 13 November at Melbourne’s Forum Theatre, where the band will open for Touché Amoré as part of a one‑night celebration of the 2016 post‑hardcore landmark Stage Four.
Originating in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 2005, Tigers Jaw has released seven studio albums. After a brief hiatus announced in 2013, the group returned with Charmer (2014) and Spin (2017). Their most recent releases include I Won’t Care How You Remember Me (2021) and Lost on You (March 2026). The band’s sound fuses jangly indie rock with the reflective lyricism and punchy instrumentation that define the fourth‑wave emo movement.
Lost on You was issued through Hopeless Records, the Los Angeles‑based independent label that has handled several of Tigers Jaw’s earlier albums. Grammy‑winning producer Will Yip oversaw production, recording the record at his Studio 4 facility in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Yip’s collaboration with the band follows a long history of work with indie, hardcore and alternative acts such as Turnstile, Movements and The Wonder Years.
The November run will feature a mix of tracks from the band’s catalog and fresh material from Lost on You. In Melbourne, the first night at the Forum will see Tigers Jaw open for Touché Amoré, whose own 2026 tour includes a special show to commemorate the decade since Stage Four was released. The second Melbourne date, at Howler, will be a standalone Tigers Jaw performance. The remaining shows—Lynotts Lounge in Perth, Crowbar in Sydney and The Brightside in Brisbane—offer fans a full setlist that spans the band’s career.
For the Australian emo and indie rock community, the tour signals a significant homecoming. Critics and peers alike have noted Tigers Jaw’s influence on the scene, and their return comes at a time when the genre is enjoying renewed interest from longtime listeners and new audiences alike. Aligning with Touché Amoré’s anniversary event further underscores the interconnectedness of the post‑hardcore and emo networks.
Tickets for the November dates are currently available through standard Australian ticketing platforms. No additional tour dates or festival appearances have been announced beyond the five venues listed. The band’s official social media accounts confirm the schedule, and Hopeless Records has issued a press release detailing the tour’s dates and venues.
In short, Tigers Jaw’s November 2026 Australian tour will bring the band back to Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane after a three‑year absence. The lineup includes a special collaboration with Touché Amoré at the Forum Theatre, and the tour will showcase material from Lost on You alongside classic tracks, offering fans a setlist that reflects the band’s evolution from their 2006 debut to their current sound.
